Why AEC Needs a Swiss Army Knife: The Power of Tool Chains
By properly implementing tool chains, AEC professionals can reduce data loss and inefficiencies in their workflows as they move between different tools. Skema is the only tool that is designed to support a native-data toolchain, instead of using object types and mapping to try to translate data between systems.
More Control, Less Risk: 4 Essential Questions About Skema
The AEC industry is no stranger to tedious, painstaking workflows. Designers spend weeks iterating to achieve a functional, reliable design scheme—only for production teams to spend even more time rationalizing it and translating it into BIM models for construction. Niknaz Aftahi, founder and CEO of aec+tech and a trusted voice in design technology, explored how Skema challenges assumptions and redefines what's possible.
The Future of Computational Design: Where Scripts and Content Converge
Architectural design is at a turning point. By combining Skema’s content-driven approach with script-driven computational workflows, design teams can achieve faster timelines, higher-quality results, and more inclusive collaboration.
